Similar to post WWII Germany & Austria had the Denazification initiative to ride society, culture, press, economy, judiciary, and politics of the Nazi ideology. We will need to remove MAGAism from the roots to finally free ourselves.

Every single ones of those who enabled Trump to perform his autocratic rise in power for their own personal profit should be rounded up and charged accordingly for corruption and/or treason. They need to be made an example to any future wannabe dictator enablers.

For example: Whoever is running Trump's money laundering cryptocurrency scheme. There is no way Trump has any idea of how cryptocurrency works or even what it even really is. This is the same Trump who was confused by the screens in a Tesla car. It is obvious that someone approached him and sold it to him as a way to launder bribe money and is probably doing it for a percentage fee that is earning him millions. That person is knowingly enabling corruption at the highest level of the country.

There is an entire team of morally bankrupt assholes who are profiting off of enabling Trump's dictatorship.

As for healing the country's mental sanity as a whole, or should I even say connection with reality, it will at least require figuring out a way to get rid of Russia's hybrid warfare's social media influence with their troll farms spewing polarizing disinformation memes. It is no coincidence that most the anti-mask and anti-vax propaganda outlets suddenly pivoted to pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine propaganda as soon as the Russian invasion of Ukraine started. It is also no coincidence that a lot of the pro-Trump have suddenly turned pro-Russia as well. They are consuming their propaganda without knowing it.

Other than that, the US should REALLY invest in its education system. None of this would have gotten this bad had the people been better educated and informed. You have a terrifying amount of people who can barely spell their own names who trust some random sketchy article or meme they saw on the internet more than the words of educated professionals who spent decades studying the field in question.

The #1 thing we need as you alluded to is propaganda eradication. It's not just Russia doing it, though they are dumping gasoline on the fire. It's the Heritage Foundation, American Petroleum Institute, Opus Dei (and anyone involved with that), and a ton of ultra wealthy conservatives, who fund Fox, NewsMax, OAN, and the social media personalities like Joe Rogan, Alex Jones, etc.

Without addressing this source of brainwashing in the cult, we'll just be removing some symptoms without ripping out the roots at the source.
